I agree with the guilt being the worse punishment. Emotional pain is often much worse than physical pain. After having done something I deeply regretted I have had to live with that knowledge every day of my life since. It was over 10 years ago but when I am reminded, it comes back as if it was yesterday. If you can get past something that has hurt you so deeply like that you are a much stronger person for it. I have experience now that can possibley help someone else sometime. It's all about learning and progressing. Moving on with life and living it to the fullest every day.

When I was about 7 or so, I threatened to run away from home for some reason or another .... my mom stripped me naked and locked me outside the house because "she brought me into this world naked and if I was going to leave, I was going to go naked" ... I still remember being so mortified and hiding behind the bushes so no one would see me.
**edit**
Carebear ... I know how you feel, my mom was just crazy nuts when I was growing up. I'd get backhanded for no reason (ie being quiet after a stressful day at school filled with tests/exams ... beaten with a horsewhip, wooden spoon, hairbrush, etc ... many, many other humiliating and unfair punishments.) I have since rec'd apologies for the things she did and have a relationship with her (after 14years of not talking) and sincerely hope you and your mom can come to some sort of terms. It's hard when you have such an upbringing. Don't let it get you down though ... I believe it made me the person I am and I actually like who I am!

This didn't happen to me, but I know about a 13-year-old boy. He decided to take a road trip with his friends and stole his parents' car to do so. He got into an accident (no one was killed) and he had a broken leg and cuts all over his body. It happened during late nighttime, so nobody was really around to help him. One of the friends called their parents and his parents were the first ones to arrive at the crash site. They didn't even take him to a hopsital-instead they took him home, sprayed vinegar all over his cuts, and chained him up to a bed post (he had to stand with a broken leg) for an entire day. Afterwards, they told him that they wished he was dead instead of having a constant reminder of what a failure their son is.

When I spilt a whole bunch of rice as a kid all over the kitchen after my evil Grandmother told me to be careful she spanked me with her slipper and then made me kneel in the corner of the kitchen on some rice for like 15 minutes (if you don't think it's bad, you kneel on some rice for 15 minutes, I dare you, it's torture) and then I had to clean it all up.
I was 10, and it was an ACCIDENT!!!

Well, probably getting into trouble for no reason at all- getting back handed (with ring on finger) all because my younger brother told my mom I did something when I had not at all. My mom didn't even bother talking to me about it or asking what I had done if anything.
Also- when I was younger- maybe 3rd grade, I had told her I didn't care for this sub teacher because she was a little mean... anyways, she told me one night that the sub teacher called her at work saying I was bad in class that day... I went to school the next day, and started to cry, and another teacher saw me crying asked why, and I said because the sub called my mom saying I was bad when I hadn't been.... I went home, and my mom told me she lied to me... she just wanted to make sure I was being good. She told me to go to class and tell them it was a prank phone call! WTF????!
Then, when I was 18, I had a boyfriend... my mom said if I went over there for Christmas Eve (just to exchange gifts only a few minutes), that she'd call the cops if I left. She didn't care for this boyfriend, she was in love with my ex even though he treated me very bad and took advantage of me all the time which she had no idea about... anyways, I was so angry because I wasn't going to be there long, and would head over to my family's house after that... I left anyways, and she called his parents saying I better get home or she'd call the cops.
There's so much more... just terrible. She was mentally and physically abusive to me- not to my younger brothers though. I'm still having problems with her to this day and I'm 24 almost 25! I have a 15 month old son now, and when I was having a b-day party for my son's 1st b-day- should be about him, she made it all about herself. I was going to have 2 different parties since my parents are divorced and did not too long ago.... so it'd be uncomfortable for everyone.... anyways, she cried and said it was hurtful, and said she'd send the gifts in the mail for him that she wasnt' going. She also added in there she wished she weren't around anymore. whew... I cried at first because I had no intention to hurt her in any way... but then it just really pissed me off! He's MY son, and this is MY family... it's not about her anymore! I gave in and had one party and she came, and everything went ok... but very uncomfortable...anyways, it's exhausting, and I cry all the time because of what all she has done to me, it just seems she has no love for me, and never even wanted me to begin with. So I'm a completely different parent to my son... and I pray I will be a much better Mommy and that he will feel loved. :( I don't know how to get over her doing all that **** to me.

Lost my graduation present a month before I graduated from High School (new hot rod car). I had a flat tire out of town and had to walk in to town and missed my curfew. My Dad didnt care and took the car away -- and sold it.

I would have to say, Kneeling in a corner on a hardwood floor, on uncooked rice. That was the worst, but the leather strap wasnt fun either.
